Hi All,
As usual, I've jumped in with both feet and ordered a bunch of sempervivum without having any sort of plan. Of course my timing wasn't well considered either, and they arrived today- along with several inches of snow. I assume that they wouldn't appreciate the shock of going from greenhouse conditions to snow.
My first question is just basic: Can I get away with adding a couple inches of turface to the deli cups (see pic) to hold just enough moisture to keep them happy until I can plant? Or do I need another plan?
My real question for the group: what would you do differently if you were starting out with sempervivum today? Is there anything that you wish you had known? Any planting ideas that you wish you had seen?
I've browsed the threads enough to know that there is a huge resource of knowledge and experience in this group and I appreciate what I've already learned from everyone.
